Exempted courses “CR", equivalent “T" and incomplete “I" as well as any course out of your study plan are not counted in your GPAs.

The GPA is rounded to the nearest two decimal places.

Semester GPA

The calculation of the semester GPA includes all studied courses in the semester, passing or failing, according to the study plan.

The semester GPA is the quotient of the total points for all courses studied in the semester -and belong to the study plan- over the number of credits of these courses.

Cumulative GPA
The cumulative GPA is the quotient of the total points for all courses studied -and belong to the study plan- over the number of credits of these courses.
